First 1st T20I live between India and South Africa: Check predicted XIs, match timing, venue – All you need to know

First 1st T20I live between India and South Africa: After starting his T20I captaincy with two series wins against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Suryakumar Yadav will look to make it three in a row when India face South Africa in the first match on Friday at Kingsmead in Durban. It will also be a repeat of the T20 World Cup 2024 final where Rohit Sharma’s team beat Proteas by 5 runs.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir is busy with the Border Gavaskar Trophy planning which starts later this month so NCA chief VVS Laxman has been sent to look after the coaching duties in South Africa.

Meanwhile, South Africa will be under pressure. Post T20 World Cup, Proteas lost 0-3 to West Indies and drew 1-1 against Ireland in T20Is. They gave a lot of youngsters a chance against West Indies and Ireland.
